    If not believing in contradictory lies, corrupted parable, and a confused version of history people mistake for philosophy is edgy, you must live a very boring life.

      Just because there exists people who don’t think like you doesn’t mean they live a boring life. That’s a bit mean to assume, isn’t it?

      I believe there is a wisdom in many of the books people find holy. I’m also an atheist. I believe in the void of nothingness as the ultimate reality. I’m also a theist. I believe in higher powers spanning dimensions.

      Nothing needs to be so small or simple as binary coded, but maybe everything can be? We all enjoy the game of this or that, in or out, true or false, but that sounds incredibly boring to me. So I don’t play it. It’s more fun to be anything we want.

      I am both a believer in nothing and a believer in everything. It may appear as a contradiction, because it is. It also isn’t. It is completely internally consistent and orderly but it’s also pure beautiful chaos.

      Just because people misunderstand things and take bad actions doesn’t mean the thing itself isn’t still useful. We don’t completely understand our own bodies yet they continue to function in spite of our understanding.

      Navigating a wilderness without a compass is a difficult thing. We all have a compass inside of us. I hope that everyone everywhere will find it.

        My comment is not about EVERY religous person. Just the pearl-clutching weirdos who get offended at hearing atheists exist and don’t believe.

        Sure, there is some wisdom, but it’s buried in mistranslation and mixed with recorded history that’s also been through the mistranslation process.

        I have no respect for people who think they have greater knowledge by misinterpreting and projecting their feelings on to such corrupted text.
